REGINA, SK – The Warman Wolverines have extended head coach & general manager Brett Pilkington on a three-year deal, the club announced Friday.
Pilkington, 42, has been the only head coach in the Wolverines’ short history and has helped turn the club’s fortunes from a 14-win season a year ago to a first-place position in the standings at the time of writing.
Now in his seventh year as a bench boss in the league, Pilkington has been tapped to lead the club long term.
“The extension means the world to my family and me,” Pilkington said.
“It’s amazing to have an organization believe in you as the Wolverines do. The community is an amazing place to raise my family, and for my kids to go to school. I look forward to the coming years with the Wolverines and the SJHL.
Pilkington’s son Brodie is an important forward on the Warman Wildcats U15AA, while daughter Allie and wife Lindsay are well entrenched in the community as well.
“Brett Pilkington is the right person to lead this hockey club,” said Wolverines president and majority owner Jon Abrametz, “and we are proud to announce a three-year contract extension that keeps him behind our bench through the 2029-30 season.
“Brett has been with us from day one and built this program from the ground up,” Abrametz continued.
“Junior hockey organizations win when they have stability and a clear identity, and Brett gives us both. Our ownership group has full confidence in where he is taking this team. Warman is a hockey town that deserves a culture of excellence, and we believe Brett is the coach who will deliver one.”
